Hard Disk Drive.
Hard Disk Drive, or a hard drive for short
basic disk
It doesn't stand for anything. It's a component/s inside your Hard Disk Drive (HDD). When you save data or install programs on your computer, the information is typically written to your Hard Disk. The Hard Disk is a spindle of magnetic disks called platters. The Hard Disk is housed inside the Hard Drive, which reads and writes data to the disk.
We generally use the jumpers to set the disk drives as master or slave.
To read a floppy disk, you insert a floppy disk into a floppy disk drive. Not all computers have floppy disk drives. Typically desktop computers or ones that stand on the floor have floppy disk drives. New machines today allow a USB thumb drive (USB flash memory storage device) to be used in place of a floppy drive. All modern computersy have USB connections. If you need to read a floppy disk and you computer does not have a floppy disk drive, you can purchase a USB connected floppy disk drive for your computer.
The difference between a drive and disk is that a drive is used to read a disk whether it be a floppy disk or a compact disk.
A disk drive is a device that computers can use to read and write information on computer disk. An example of one is the hard disk drive.
